Lovely Horribly: Window to love

Opening of heart on the past

I mentioned in my last post on Saturday that I am so in love with Park Sihoo-ssi’s Philip Yu in his KBS drama “Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리” that I am still reluctant to let go and say goodbye. So for majority of this week, I will continue to post different aspects of the drama as I see them, unless something exciting comes up. Hope you will enjoy them.

First off…Window to love!

I love how the writer and the production team of “Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리” broke away from the norm and showed their artistry in presenting the different aspects of the drama. They have used different techniques and refreshing approaches to deepen audience impression, pull at their heart-strings and provoke their minds to think rather than take things at face value. They try not to call a spade a spade but present it more creatively.

Creative idea to present the past

The hole in the ceiling in Oh Eulsun’s house is a case in point. The scene presented a “Window to love” between Philip and Eulsun and between them and their mothers. The “window” accidentally created by Philip gave him and Eulsun the opportunity to get to know each other and us the audience, to get more insights into their sorrow and pain of the past.

Through their heart-to-heart talk about their past and what drove them, they deepened their mutual understanding. Eulsun opened up her heart and shared her story, but Philip was more reserved in his sharing, preferring to keep his hurt from his mother’s dissertation to himself.

Window to love by opening up the hearts

Their heartbreak and pain really tore at my heart. Philip was deeply affected when his mother left him at a tender age of ten. At eighteen, when he thought he found his mother, he was disillusioned to find her with a new daughter, spurring him to become an actor to snub his mother and let her see him only on TV. He succeeded in his career but not when it came to love.

Eulsun, even though she was a failure many times over in her career and “lost” her birth mother, she was luckier in motherly love, having found a surrogate in Philip’s mother who took care of her, showering her with love.

“Window to love” through that hole in the ceiling. A good way to present an eye-opener in the sorrow, pain and love of Philip and Eulsun. I love it!

可爱恐惧：爱的窗口

在星期六的那篇文章中提到，我非常喜欢施厚君在KBS电视剧“可爱恐惧 Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리”饰演的刘弼立，到现在仍然不愿意放手说再见。因此，这周的大部分时间，我还会继续分享该剧的不同方面，除非有更兴奋的新消息发布。希望大家还依然会喜欢。

首先，这篇……爱的窗口！

The accidental hole in the ceiling

我喜欢“可爱恐惧 Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리”的编辑和制作团队如何脱离常规去更生动的展示电视剧的不同场景，显示出了他们的艺术创造才华。他们使用不同的技巧和令人耳目一新的方式去加深观众的印象，拉开他们的心弦，激发他们的思考，而不是只从表面上看待事物。

吴乙顺家里的天花板上的洞就是一个很好的例子。现场呈现了弼立和乙顺以及他们和他们的母亲之间的“爱的窗口”。弼立偶然创造的“窗口”让他和乙顺有机会更深地了解对方和让观众们更深入地看到他们过去的悲伤和痛苦。

Philip’s past unveiled

Eulsun sharing her failures and drive

通过他们之间的心对心交谈，分享了他们的过去和人生的推动力，加深了他们的相互理解。 乙顺打开了她的心房，分享了她的故事，但弼立比较保守，不愿意让乙顺知道他的母亲的离去是怎么打击了他。

他们的心碎和痛苦真的让我的心也碎了。当母亲在他十岁离开他，弼立深受影响。十八岁的时候，他以为找到了母亲，片刻特别兴奋，但一下就失望地发现她有了心爱的新女儿，这促使他要成功的当演员，让母亲只能在远处的电视上看到他的成就。弼立的职业生涯取得了成功，但在爱方面却无有。

Pulling at the audience’s heartstrings

乙顺虽然在职业生涯中多次失败，也“失去了”她的生母，但她在母爱中是幸运的。弼立的母亲变成了她的代替母亲，一直照顾和爱护着她。

剧组通过天花板上的那个“爱的窗口”，大放异彩的方法去表达了弼立和乙顺的悲伤，痛苦和爱。我喜欢！
